Integrating Molecular, Ecological and Morphological Data to Explore the Biodiversity of Microgastrine Parasitoid Wasps
… of the Area de Conservacion Guanacaste (ACG) in Costa Rica. To understand species relationships and patterns in host utilization, a phylogeny was reconstructed for Apanteles, the largest genus. A five-gene phylogeny recovered a strong repeating pattern of clades restricted to and …

Biomechanical characterization and computational modeling of the anterior eye
… For example, in primary angle closure glaucoma (ACG), the iris is positioned abnormally to the anterior. In my research project, I tried to reveal the mechanisms underlying iris contour abnormalities using a combination of computational and experimental studies. The iris contour is determined by …

Determinación de aptitud combinatoria de ocho lineas de maiz (Zea mays L.) derivadas de la población 76 C2 (Tropical Intermedia Blanco Cristalino)
… combinado, la aptitud combinatoria general (ACG) y específica (ACE), presentaron diferencias altamente significativas (a=0.01) para cada tratamiento, en cada localidad y a través de localidades, lo que indica que algunas líneas al combinarse dieron como resultado cruzas con un comportamiento …

The Parataxonomist Revolution : how a group of rural Costa Ricans discovered 10,000 new species
… of Costa Rica's Area de Conservacidn Guanacaste (ACG). Hiring local people, rather than students or academics, as permanent field researchers upset traditional research structures, but has paid off for science and for local communities. Some 10,000 new species have been identified through these …

Revision of Xanthomicrogaster Cameron, 1911 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae)
… efforts of the Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) project in Costa Rica, over 50 specimens of Xanthomicrogaster have been collected, both through Malaise traps and caterpillar rearing. In addition to these specimens, borrowed material of undescribed Xanthomicrogaster species from the Canadian …

Data-driven algorithms for operational problems
… the Approximate Column Generation heuristic (ACG) and Potential Based algorithm (PB) for solving the Choice-based Deterministic Linear Program, an LP relaxation to the problem, to near-optimality. Both algorithms only assume the ability to approximate the underlying single period problem. ACG …

Celiac Disease Diagnosis Among Primary Care Nurse Practitioners: A Quality Improvement Project
… with the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. Two thirds of the respondents reported their education did not properly prepare them to accurately diagnose celiac disease. The vast majority also reported they do not …

Phylogenetics patterns of host utilization in two tropical Microgastrine parasitoid genera (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
… the Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) inventory, Costa Rica and the Yanayacu Field Station, Ecuador. Using the 53 provisional morpho-barcode species of the genus Cotesia outlined by Smith et al. (2008), I reconstructed a five-gene molecular phylogeny which synthesizes detailed …

Effect of carbon nanoparticle addition on epoxy cure
… systems: MY 750 / HY 5922 (Vantico), MTM 44 -1 (ACG) and 8552 (Hexcel Composites). This investigation was conducted with the utilisation of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Temperature Modulated DSC (TMDSC). Appropriate phenomenological cure kinetics models were built to predict the …

Analysis of factors of importance for drug use
… County. To estimate multimorbidity the ACG-Case Mix was used in all papers. Drug use depending on age, gender, income- and educational level, after adjustment for multimorbidity, was analysed in the entire adult population in Paper I, and in the primary healthcare population in Paper …

A study of the role of advanced technologies in glaucoma case-finding
… individuals at--‐risk of angle closure glaucoma (ACG). Overall, the van Herick test and Visante OCT, used either alone or in combination, showed best discrimination between narrow and open angles. Recording of either the temporal or nasal van Herick grade would be sufficient for case--‐finding in …

Analysis of cis-acting expression determinants of the tobacco psbA 5’UTR in vivo
… at the unique MunI between two tRNA genes (trnR-ACG and trnNGUU) is functional. Vector pKCZ has a large flexibility for further DNA manipulations and hence is useful for future applications. 2) The stem-loop of the psbA 5’UTR is required for mRNA stabilisation and translation. All mutants related …

Hardware Synthesis of Synchronous Data Flow Models
<p>Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) graphs are a convenient way to represent many signal processing and dataflow operations. Nodes within SDF graphs represent computation while arcs represent dependencies between nodes. Using a graph representation, SDF graphs formally specify a dataflow algorithm …
